Chapter 8: maze challenge

"Hello handsome, are you planning to look at some magic tonics? We just launched a new magic tonic that's very cost-effective. Do you want me to introduce it to you?"

As soon as I walked into the store, a saleswoman with beautiful light makeup came towards me with a sweet smile.

It is worth mentioning that the "handsome guy" mentioned by the young lady is not a compliment. With Lin You's looks, he doesn't need to dress up specially and can beat 90% of the so-called handsome guys.

"Don't bother. I want to buy a magic crystal at a suitable price."

Lin You waved his hand and said casually.

When the saleswoman heard the words "magic crystal", her eyes lit up and she quickly said:

"Magic crystals? Handsome, you've come to the right place. Our magic crystals are of high quality and are especially suitable for absorption. Regardless of your magic absorption capacity, the energy residual rate is much better than other stores."

Magic crystals are relatively luxurious commodities among magic supplements. Even if this young lady sells the cheapest magic crystal, she can get a lot of commission.

"Okay then, please help me get a piece of reliable quality."

Lin You is not an expert in magic crystal appraisal, so he can only measure the quality by price. Having said that, there are rarely any problems with the goods sold in shops that have obtained national certification, and it is almost impossible to encounter major problems.

Not to mention large shopping malls like Jiangbei Mall, the credibility of the shops there goes without saying.

"Handsome, this magic crystal was recently brought out from a lightly dangerous secret realm. It's of excellent quality and easier to absorb. It's one of the top-tier magic crystals. The original price was 100,000 yuan, but now you can get a 2,000 yuan discount, making it 98,000 yuan."

The saleswoman introduced it with a smile on her face, and added:

"This is also because we consider that the major Duel Universities will soon begin a new round of admissions exams, and we are providing benefits to the graduating Duel Science students."

Lin You's eyes fell on a small, exquisitely shaped box that the other party handed over. The box was transparent, with a white substance like dry ice scattered around it. The magic crystal placed inside looked like a refrigerated ice cube.

Even so, the magic crystal, which was probably only the size of a ping-pong ball, still emitted a gorgeous and strange purple light. Just by looking through the box, Lin You could feel a unique magical aura.

Magic crystal is indeed a good thing.

Lin You nodded in his heart and gave his evaluation.

"Okay, I'll take this."

Feeling that this magic crystal was good, Lin You was too lazy to continue choosing. He took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code handed to him by the saleswoman.

"Thank you."

Lin You, who was checking out and paying, took the magic crystal that the saleswoman had helped to pack, simply raised his hand to say thank you, and then walked out of the store with the other party saying cheerfully "You're welcome, welcome to visit next time" and watching him go.

Holding the shopping bag in his hand, Lin You felt a little regretful.

Purchasing mana supplements does not unlock the associated card drawing achievements, and absorbing mana crystals may also be difficult.

Fortunately, Lin You didn't expect too much from this, as it was just an attempt to unlock it.

After calming down, Lin You didn't rush to leave Jiangbei Mall. Even though he didn't have much money left, who said he had to spend money when shopping in a mall?

The world has evolved into the card world of today. It is obviously impossible for Lin You to understand it only through various exaggerated film and television works. If he wants to understand it in depth, he has to experience it personally.

With the idea of exploration and discovery in mind, Lin You began to wander around the first floor of the mall. If possible, he would like to go to the second floor to take a look, so that he can know the strength of the cards used by ordinary duelists.

After walking and stopping casually, facts soon proved that Lin You’s choice was right.

When passing by a large store, Lin You stopped, not only because of the size of the store, but also because the store seemed to be carrying out some interesting activities and many people were gathered here, which made him curious and showed considerable interest.

There were several promotional signs placed at the entrance of the store, most of which contained content related to the event. However, since the entrance was full of people and there were too many people joining in the fun, it was impossible to see the content on the signs clearly.

However, the merchant obviously also considered this problem and specially installed a large promotional screen at a slightly higher place. Lin You quickly noticed the promotional screen and looked up.

《Explore the secret treasures in the maze, come if you dare! 》

The first thing that catches your eye is the event title that is bolded and highlighted in red, making it particularly eye-catching.

Just seeing the title, Lin You couldn't help but read the rest of the activity content with great interest. After a while, he completely understood what kind of activities were being carried out here.

To put it simply, the merchant hid a total of ten keys of three levels, gold, silver, and bronze, in a treasure hunt site created based on the site magic card 'Maze'.

The area of the maze is not too large, and it is within the effective range for non-duelists to form duel links with their own monster cards, but the routes inside the maze are very complicated, and it is easy for people with poor sense of direction to get lost.

Of course, duelists themselves cannot participate in this activity. Instead, after paying a challenge fee of 500 yuan, they can send out any monster card to explore for five minutes. The keys found during this period can be exchanged for corresponding prizes from the merchant.

According to the merchant, each key carries a corresponding magical aura. The lower the level of the key, the stronger the aura. Conversely, the magical aura carried by the only golden key is almost negligible.

As we all know, any monster card has a natural sensitivity to the aura of magic, but the degree of sensitivity varies and the signs of manifestation are not clear.

Based on this, many people are willing to give their cards a try, after all, the challenge fee is not too expensive.

However, the merchant also specifically stipulates that each duelist can only challenge the monster card once, and until all the keys are found.

Additionally, duelists who have reached full 'duelist' standards are not allowed to participate in the challenge.

Lin You learned from the event notification that the event had already started for more than two hours, but only two bronze keys had been found so far, which shows the difficulty of the challenge.

But correspondingly, the rewards for successful challenges are also very generous.

Each copper key can be exchanged for a bottle of magic liquid worth 10,000 yuan.

As for the golden key, coincidentally, the corresponding prize is exactly the magic crystal that Lin You just bought.

A magic crystal stone is worth a hundred thousand yuan, which is a huge sum of money.

Lin You was more interested and didn't care about the mere 500 yuan challenge fee.

Thinking of this, Lin You hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, scanned the challenge QR code on the billboard, and after paying the challenge fee of 500 yuan, he was told that he was currently ranked 17th in the queue, which was not too far behind.

According to the five-minute challenge format, it would take about an hour and a half for it to be his turn.

While waiting, Lin You can also watch each challenge live through the extra-large blue-light LCD screen prepared by the merchant.

At this moment, on the screen, a cute and handsome orange baby dragon is flapping its wings clumsily and flying around in a complex maze.

Lin You recognized that this monster was a baby dragon.

The baby dragon flew through an aisle and knocked open a gray light door at the end. After opening the door, it saw a dead end.

In the corner of the dead end, a ball of gray light was violently fluctuating, emitting an extremely strong magical aura.

This thing is a trap set by the merchant. Its magical aura far exceeds that of the third type of keys and is extremely attractive to monster cards.

At this stage, the challengers can only use Duel-level monster cards, and they are not powerful Duel-level monsters. In this case, they are relatively lacking in wisdom and cannot distinguish such detailed exploration well.

"Why."

The Baby Dragon's duelist also sighed in frustration. The time was up and the five hundred dollars was wasted.
